I was really expecting some kind of goal that he'd set for himself or way to improve his pessimistic attitude. Oh well.
It reads that way a little but as a front-end dev I've had sit-downs with a few founders trying to hire me and in some cases I thought their ideas were stupid. It didn't seem like they wanted my opinion on their idea as much as they wanted to get me excited about the future they are trying to create.
Turns out one of them succeeded in a sense.
That's the founders' job though. They don't hire developers to critique their strategy, they hire them to implement it.
